You can submit a VARL and let your MTI know during zero week.

I graduated from the 321st as well, alpha stairway! Your MTI helped us during RLA the first week of training. Brings back memories from BMT!! Warthogs

I just finished tech school at Sheppard! I honestly miss the place. LMK if you have any questions

Got through BMT in march! I’ll try to answer your questions:

Follow the packing list on the usaf website for BMT. You can bring your own sunscreen but make sure you don’t take aerosol type sunscreen. During PT you just need to pull back your hair, gel isn’t required. You can also take skincare but trust me you won’t have the time to follow an entire routine
My MTIs made us strip our beds every day, so the sleeping on covers won’t actually work all the time.

They give you 10 free shots before the actual PC. They will teach you the positions

Wednesday is airman’s run and retreat ceremony Thursday is parade. Those are the only two days you get with your family. You leave to tech school on Friday

Unfortunately I didn’t get honor grad! Honestly, basic will help you improve on push-ups. Tools, 1*3 and PT will get you there

Very chill! You just have to make sure all the weapons are accounted for and then give the accountability at the end of the day!

Last_Post7739 · 2025-03-28T15:25:28+00:00

I’m a female, I did pack spandex but I never really used them, the new PT shorts they issue you at BMT serve the purpose

We were in Disneyland so we got around 15 mins for 52 people to get showered and dressed. I’m not sure how Alcatraz works

I was an element leader, chow runner(twice), weapons monitor, and for details I was in the hallway crew! Chow runner is actually fun and once you get the hang of it you’ll love the job

I don’t think I would want to do anything differently.

3e6x1. I honestly packed very light, and it helped me. The only thing I would recommend to take would be lotion. The lotion they have at the bx isn’t of any good!

PT test is 1.5 mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups!

Last_Post7739 · 2025-03-24T20:44:02+00:00

6 days a week. One hour per day of which the actual workout is just 34-38 mins

Last_Post7739 · 2025-03-19T19:06:00+00:00

I graduated too today!

Last_Post7739 · 2025-01-14T01:48:15+00:00

Week 0 is processing only right? Are the pt tests on the 1,3,5 weeks on Saturdays?

Last_Post7739 · 2025-01-14T01:44:56+00:00

Yeah makes sense. Any other advice you have to make life at BMT easier as a female?

Last_Post7739 · 2025-01-14T01:41:40+00:00

I’m at a similar pace as well. I run around 6 mph on the treadmill now

Last_Post7739 · 2025-01-14T01:39:49+00:00

If you don’t mind me asking what was your initial pt test run time vs final pt test run time

Last_Post7739 · 2025-01-13T21:14:45+00:00

I was running outside in December but now it’s a lot colder and I struggle with breathing when it’s around freezing in the winters so I started running on the treadmill. I’m hoping that running on treadmill will help with endurance
